Nice, what book?


Hellsten - endgame strategy

I was doing a Yusupov book and I got destroyed by an endgame strategy chapter so badly that I got a book on it

#1580 thanks :)

I got my highest OTB win the other week so I'm getting there hopefully

Avatar of GeckoSoloYT

#1581 Yeah I would have no idea where to start there

Avatar of chesssblackbelt

I had no idea I was so weak in it

The test at the end of the Yusupov chapter was out of 26 points and I fr got 9 points or smth

i think if you locked in this year classical, perhaps with the help of a coach, you'll manage to get CM or def NM

not saying this cuz of experience (i am poor), but i seen alot of people actually managing to do that and i feel you can easily achieve it

I've done 6 tourneys in the last 2 months, I am locking in lol

2000 seems about accurate for now, I don't think I'm underrated

I have a coach and am about to start a new book (just arrived today :D)

Good luck man!

I’m trying to find a way to bongcloud (ke2) Against the Scandinavian while still being playable. Do you guys know any? (By playable I mean not losing TOO much)

I'd recommend playing 2.d4 against the Scandi and transpose into a Blackmar-Diemer Gambit

My 900th ever game. A couple of stupid misses because I basically premoved a lot of moves but I was winning the entire game anyways. Can't say it was perfect but I played pretty well apart from those misses and I even got what I think was a brilliant knight sac(the computer called it a best move instead but I'm going to annotate it as brilliant so everyone can see).

Obviously I won with the Dutch defense(this was a blitz game)
